This is my first In-House run, and only my second time running fems in about 14 years or growing. Generally i’ve avoided modern genetics, but in order to have a place in this rapidly evolving market I’m challenging my old assumptions and testing some of the new fangled fem work.
I started these seeds on 8/8. I had been eyeing the on NASC for a minute, and in Jan-Feb they ran a buy one get one on In-House. I grabbed 2 12 packs. When it came time to plant and I pulled the packs out, my enthusiasm went way up. These were by far the largest and healthiest seeds I’ve ever bought
I put down 18 seeds, as well as a few random freebies that I got with them. I use jiffy 8 cells for seed starting, with a mix of a coco and whatever else I have. I think this time it was coco and happy frog. First action in 4 days, so 8/12
Almost immediately I noticed a significant difference in the size and vigor of the Black Moonflower and the freebies (which came from a great breeder whose seeds I’ve also purchased and run recently)
In the red ring are the freebies. The purple arrow shows one of the 18 black moonflower that failed to launch, as it were.
I’ll get some pics tonight when the lights come on, the seed plants have been flowering since 10/25. About half of them are too dwarvish to have any production value, but the first bits of smell I’m getting from them just don’t even make sense. I didn’t think a cannabis plant could smell like that
Very interesting and informative thread you have started here my friend. I wish you nothing but good luck and I hope you crush the ever living out of this grow . I’ll be following along partner.
Really appreciate your photos a descriptions for this run!! Definitely following along and look forward to updates best up luck and happy grows:beers:
Glad to see some In-House seeds getting grown out. I really liked the Papyafiya and Sluricane #7 I got from In-House. I think the only thing I struggled with growing their seeds is that the seeds were very hard shelled. I plan to do more scaring to help the seeds push these shells off in the future. Good luck on your grow!
Looks great bro, some healthy seedlings and plants!! I’m keeping an eye on this one, I have some terple platinum seeds from in house I’ve been debating on running, they have some good strains. Good luck!!
These are in a pretty low stress environment, just a single 750w DE in an adjust a wing. I’m 100% pro sodium and will continue to run them until I can’t get bulbs anymore.
I’ll pull them apart and get a better picture line up when the lights come on around 4. You’ll be more able to see the variety of stature. I keep reminding myself that these are the seed plants, and that plants from clone will look a little different. All the same, there are a few I plan to cull because of their growth pattern.
I chose the black moonflower
A) i’ve always wanted a cut of the Black cherry soda. BMF is
Black Cherry Soda x Black Cherry Honey
I THINK the black cherry honey is (Cantaloupe Haze x Slurricane) x Black Cherry Pie bx. Correct me if I’m wrong, that info isn’t easy to find if you aren’t on social media
B) Black Moonflower is an awesome name and it would draw attention on a shelf in a shop
These 16 plants have largely settled themselves into two equal groups. 8 are very compact, 8 are fairly (or very) stretchy. Some of them have basically formed one continuous nug. This will make elimination easy, I think I’ll cull at least 8 by the end of the month.
I’m traveling now, I’ll snap pics when I get home. I can definitely understand why opinions on In House are so polarizing, if you started a 3 or a 6 pack you might end up with nothing worth a rerun. There are a few I have my eye on
I’m in 2 gallon fabric pots with a mix of coco and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Soil. Feeding drip A&B with occasional doses of Great White and Mykos WP
The two plants I keep my eyes on most. They’re the biggest and have the most interesting smells. The thinner of the two is nevertheless producing pretty large, dense flowers to the bottom. It also has the most incredible smell, every time I would get a whiff I would think “effervescent”. It’s kind of transformed now, we’ll see where it ends up. This is the most likely to be rerun, at this stage. I have mothers of the 8 candidates elsewhere
That was always my worry as well, not just with IHG but with most modern “breeding” programs built on STS. I’m just coming up on 50 days, and most of them have at least two more weeks. I have six more of these seeds in the fridge which I’ll start after Christmas. The vigor of the seedlings and the beauty of the seeds are both very praise worthy. As far as the flowers so far, I’m not super jazzed
I hear ya. What have you grown historically, up until this point? I’ve only been in the growing game almost a year and it’s been all Bodhi seeds for me so far. I just popped a couple from Jaws genetics also, I have a journal going.
For years I was a clone chaser and mostly grew the elite cuts that ran around central Ohio. I did seed grows maybe once every 18 months, although I always loved to buy seeds. in the past few years I’m always doing multipack runs, including Doc D, CSI, authentic generics (yes), Solfire and most recently IHG.
Well damn, I have this pack of beans on deck and I’m hesitant since you’re not super jazzed about the flowers I have no reason to believe I’ll do any better a job than you, but, i dunno maybe I’ll still run them
